As with other users of this extension for Home Assistant, starting from version 0.66 the rgb_color directive no longer works to change icons color. To date, no answers yet on the forum and on the GitHub repository. I would like to know if a solution has been found to allow this beautiful extension for Home Assistant to work again.
Thank you for your contribution.
The broken rgb_color is unrelated to CustomUI.
Starting from HA 0.66 icon color is controlled by a 2-member hs_color array attribute (hue, saturation) instead of 3-member rgb_color array attribute (red, green, blue)
Thank you, Replaced all rgb_color with hs_color and working same way as before.
I tried several times to install and activate CustomUi, but always unsuccesfully.I followed the docs step by step but never saw a change in my UI. I run HASS on Hassbian. My question is: is CustomUi compatible with hassbian or not as my doubt is this…
Hi Vlad,
I would like to know how you have configured the color of the text to transform in green. Could you share the code?
Thank you.
Use: New CustomUI release
Install, configure.
Define:
themes:
green:
primary-text-color: ‘#008000’
red:
primary-text-color: ‘#ff0000’
In customize.yaml example:
sensor.speedtest_ping:
custom_ui_state_card: state-card-custom-ui
icon: mdi:speedometer
friendly_name: Ping
templates:
theme: “if (state == ‘unknown’) return ‘red’; else return ‘green’;”
@andrey The problem is that hs_color does not accurately map to rgb_color. We also need to add brightness. Here’s what I am using currently:
sensor.*_futures_change_pct:
templates:
hs_color: >
if (state < -4) return [360, 85];
if (state < -2) return [23, 90];
if (state < 0) return [50,100];
if (state < 2) return [65,85];
if (state < 4) return [100,65];
return [150,95];
brightness: >
if (state < -4) return 216;
if (state < -2) return 255;
if (state < 0) return 255;
if (state < 2) return 220;
if (state < 4) return 192;
return 153;
I used the following to obtain the colors (converted RGB into Hue, sat, brightness using http://colorizer.org/ and scaled the brightness to 0-255 based on @NovapaX suggestion)
First, it is definitely less elegant than using rgb_color. More importantly, the colors are not accurately rendered. Here’s the output:
The color is #E1F224, which is equivalent to HSB values of 64.95, 85.12, and 94.9 (or a scaled value of 241.995).

Hello,
I need some tabs and/or groups to be hidden for all device except a few, I cannot figure out how to make it work:
homeassistant:
customize:
group.tab_settings:
order: 10
hidden: true
customize_glob:
group.tab_settings:
device:
"*.*":
hidden: true
mydevice:
hidden: false
group:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- group.infos
- group.family
- group.lights
- group.energy
- group.system
tab_settings:
name: "Réglages"
view: yes
entities:
- switch.server_media
- group.all_switches
- group.all_automations
Thanks in advance.

First of all thanks to @andrey for your amazing custom-ui 
.
I have a feature request, is it possible to add a feature to hide the slider when the light is off?
This will avoid putting lights on accidentily when scrolling through the lights on the phone/tablet.
That’s only working for the control button and not for the dimmer slider isn’t it?
In my case I accidentely turn on the light by pressing somewhere on the dimmer slider when scrolling through the page.
That’s a very fair point.
I only use control buttons on my normal ui, and if I want to access a dimmer slider then I hit a control to bring up the pop-up
Can someone confirm if Per entity theming is working with Home Assistant 0.67.1?
EDIT: It’s working fine on Chrome 66 but not on Safari 11.1.
is this still at hand? quite an issue if one has many carefully selected rgb_color templates… Why is this done at all? In your method, is it the hsl setting you use for hs_color?
I ask because when lets say i need to translate the rgb[251,210,41] I see the following:
Not sure what to use here…
extra question: can we maintain the hex colors? And if so, couldn’t we just use the #fbd229 in this case for the icon color.
Or is it the fact that HA now only uses hs_color for coloring the icons…
Cheers,
Marius
Yes…it seems HA now use some version of HSB. Actually, you cannot even use the B value directly. You need to use a scaled value for brightness. The exact formula for B to be used is (B-50)*5.10 (@NovapaX gave me that formula and I have no idea why it has to be that complicated).
See my config for a working example.
indeed, too bad no documentation on that is to be found anywhere, other than in @balloob 's mentioning it? 0.66: VeSync switches, HomematicIP, and a group cover. - Home Assistant
seems your pointing out the way to calculate the B is way too complicated to be the desired way to go forward in this.
Maybe we’re missing out on some basic info…
I would love to know, if there is one. This clearly is way too complicated to be useful. But, I could not find any other option.

we can still use rgb in scene’s I presume, and in the custom-ui itself for displaying the light values?
light.cabinet:
extra_data_template:
'if (attributes.rgb_color) return "RGB: " + attributes.rgb_color ; return null;'
state_card_mode: break-slider
stretch_slider: true

rgb_color works with light.
